Abstract

Augmented Reality is becoming increasingly popular. The success of a platform is typically observed by measuring the health of the software ecosystem surrounding it. In this paper, we take a closer look at the Vuforia ecosystem’s health by mining the Vuforia platform application repository. It is observed that the developer ecosystem is the strength of the platform. We also determine that Vuforia could be the biggest player in the market if they lay its focus on specific types of app development.
